Cracker Barrel County is all a buzz with the coming of Valentines. The Buttermilk Brothers have braved the cold weather to come together and discuss, deliberate and finalize what tags they would be offering up for this celebrated day of love. Heated words were had about how love should be celebrated every day but cool heads prevailed and decisions were made and here are their offerings, in no order of importance of course.
- You can't choose your families but you can choose your GNOMIES!
- I love getting to GNOME you!
- Naughty and I Gnome It!
- There's Gnome one like you!
- To Gnome you is to Love you!
- GNOMEMASTE!!
The Road To Gnome
I can not help myself, I am a sucker for all things miniature. I had developed quite a collection of Cracker Barrel syrup bottles over the year. My friends finally challenged me to do something with them. So, I put my thinking cap on and here they are, The Buttermilk Brothers Gnome jars. (If you put the first letter of each of their names together, it spells Buttermilk. Cracker Barrel has the best Buttermilk Pancakes!!)
I crocheted their little hats and formed their hair and nose with textured paint. After that, I added more paint and some extra sparkle (sorry the camera is not really picking that up)
The Gnome Surprise
I then thought.... hmmm, these little mischievous dudes need to come with a surprise because Gnomes are surprising! That's when I got the bright idea to hide little notes inside them. There is a little piece of yarn that runs through a reinforced tag. The string stays hidden under his hat. Just unscrew the top, pull on the string and enjoy reading your Gnome words of wisdom. At this moment in time the messages have a Valentines vibe to them because, well, why not! You get to choose one tag from the six shown, choose wisely.
Jars and Hats:
These are upcycled Cracker Barrel Syrup jars. They are tiny and stand 4 in. tall. They come with the caps, just lift the crochet hats off, and remove the screw cap. Earl Buttermilk's Hat is 6 in. long (The biggest to date) and the back of this jar is open, you will be able to see into it.
Where Do These Gnomes Want To Live
These adorable Gnome Jars are meant for indoor use only and they are not meant for children.
History of the Gnome
"Tomtes or Gnomes" came from Scandinavian folklore. Tomtes “house gnomes” live in or under the house. Their job is to protect the children and animals from evil or misfortune and perhaps create a bit of mischief. Until recently, they have taken on the role similar to the American Santa. In Norway they call them, Nisse.

How it’s Made
My whimsical art is crafted in my home studio in a pet and smoke free environment. Each piece is distinctively unique with it's own unique characteristics making them one of a kind.
These adorable Gnome jars are meant for indoor use only. Check each listings details to see the measurements of the hats. Also, some gnomes have open backs, while others are closed. I left some open so if you put little stones, crystals or trinkets in the jars, you could see them.
